Update - I followed the advice given with 1750 daily and aimed for 1/2lb loss per week. I gained 3lb in the first two weeks. So I joined slimming world on the 15th. I'm not tracking calories anymore but I am sticking to the slimming world plan fully. I lost 6lb the first week and 3lb the second. I will be sticking with…

Thank you to all who posted advice yesterday. I am processing it and I'm not as stressed as when I usually go on a 'diet'. In fact, yesterdays eating just felt like different meal choices and not an actual diet. Someone like OP with a BMI in the severely obese range can afford to lose more than a half pound per…

This makes a lot of sense. What do you mean by "titrating down your calories every other week"? And what is TDEE?

When I set up MFP and said to lose 2lb it recommended 1200 so I just trusted it. However, I did look at another app which said 1324 was my target allowance so I really dont know. 5 foot 8", currently 17 stone 1lb (239lb). I would like to be somewhere between 10.5 to 11 stone. Pretty much sedentary most of the time but…

Also, I'm fat and crazy. I can't do anything about the crazy but the fat I can.

My petty reason is for him to see me and regret giving up on me. Then I politely say "I'm sorry, I don't know who you are" and walk away.
